Physiology and Endocrinology: Factors Affecting Embryonic and Fetal Mortality

between SI WRC and IUS was: WRC = 0.0279 IUS + 0.7047 (R2 = 0.654). On the other hand, extrusion of cereals promoted a significant increase in Gastric WRC, probably due to the gelatinization and dispersion of starch. Extrusion and grinding promoted decreases in SI WRC, which was associated with a decrease on the amount of IUS rather than a variation on the feed particle size. Further studies ar...

The endocrinology of pregnancy and fetal loss in wild baboons.

An impressive body of research has focused on the mechanisms by which the steroid estrogens (E), progestins (P), and glucocorticoids (GC) ensure successful pregnancy. With the advance of non-invasive techniques to measure steroids in urine and feces, steroid hormones are routinely monitored to detect pregnancy in wild mammalian species, but hormone data on fetal loss have been sparse. Here, we ...

Physiology and Endocrinology: Reproductive Endocrinology

The aim of the present study was to investigate the endocrinology of periestrus period and the days after until estrus in ewes (n = 40) synchronized out of breeding season and diagnosing the related pregnancies after laparoscopic insemination comparing to different doses of PMSG that was used. Animals treated for 12 d with CIDR followed by administration with different doses (0, 450, 550, 650, ...
